On the 21.05., IPR PhD student Sugeeth Gopinathan presented the paper Improved Human-Robot Interaction: A manipulability based approach at the ICRA 2018 Workshop on Ergonomic Physical Human-Robot Collaboration. The approach uses online-measured human arm kinematics to optimize adaptive stiffness control for optimized task execution. S. Gopinathan and J. Steil are members of the Fortschrittskolleg "Gestaltung Menschzentrierter Arbeitswelten" at the Universities Bielefeld and Paderborn and funded by the Ministerium für Kultur und Wissenschaft des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen.
